32 years after the Chornobyl disaster, the infamous exclusion zone gets a second life as a solar energy plant opens there. The Chornobyl power plant exploded in 1986, causing 37 immediate deaths and having long-term effect on the health of thousands of people.
About 115,000 people were evacuated. The area of a 30-kilometer radius around the plant became an exclusion zone.
The talks of revitalizing the zone have been on for a while.
